ingredients

3 ¹⁄₄ cups low sodium chicken broth
1 cup quick-cooking couscous
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 (4 ounce) boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into cubes
1 pinch ground black pepper
¹⁄₂ cup jalapeno pepper, finely chopped
1 carrot, thinly sliced
1 zucchini, diced
3 green onions, thinly sliced
1 ¹⁄₂ teaspoons fresh gingerroot, grated
1 ¹⁄₂ teaspoons curry powder
¹⁄₂ teaspoon coriander powder
1 teaspoon cornstarch

directions

In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups of the chicken broth to a boil. Stir in couscous and 1 1/2 teaspoons of the olive oil. Turn off heat, cover, and let stand 10 minutes.
Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Stir in the chicken, season with pepper, and cook until no longer pink and juices run clear. Remove chicken from the skillet, and set aside.
Heat the remaining olive oil in the skillet over medium heat. Stir in the jalapeno peppers and carrot, and saute about 2 minutes. Mix in the zucchini, green onions, ginger, and 1/4 cup chicken broth. Continue to cook and stir until tender, about 5 minutes.
In a small bowl, blend the remaining 1 cup chicken broth with curry powder, coriander, and cornstarch. Pour over the vegetables. Return chicken to the skillet. Continue cooking about 2 minutes until chicken is coated and the broth mixture begins to thicken.
Serve over the couscous.
Note.
If you want to use this as OAMC, forget about the couscous for now, and make that while you heat up the chicken.

I live in Bergen, Norway, with my American husband.We have 2 daughters, Emma (born in 2001) and Sara (born in 2003) I worked full time as a consultant at a publishing house, but decided to change careers and am now working as a consultant at the Norwegain Public Roads Administration. The main reason for me to join this site is that my husband and I both need help figuring out how to ake good, quality, healthy meals for our family that does not involving using a lot of time we don't have! Other then that, I love photographing (have a Nikond D90), writing, films, reading books, hiking, being outside with my kids, do arts and crafts with the kids, traveling (which we do a lot).
